What Causes Severe Swelling In The Feet And Ankles?
My feet and ankles have been having SEVERE swelling the last few years. I ve gone through extensive testing, including checking for blood clots and the like, but no one knows what it is. I can t really even fit into shoes anymore. I have an IUD, could that be the cause of it? If not I m desperate to know what is going on.

Hi,
If periferal vascular diseases have been excluded, such swelling on both ankles can be due to severe anemia with hypoproteinemia, kidney, heart, liver problems. You need to get extensively to have your total health...arrive at the specific cause & get proper treatment by an expert physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
